Sounds like he know how to push those buttons! lol

So are dogs when they are well trained....reminds me of that stupid saying, "I am going to count to three....one...two...two and a half..."

My oldest son once heard that in a resturant from another table and told the people "my dad never counts, why do you?"

I didn't, I just asked them if they misunderstood me, and what I was telling them to do. That usually came with another question, and another answer.

Sometimes you really do need to turn the car around. Children learn your bluffing the first time, and then expect that is the way it works. Guess they are pretty smart, the dog doesn't understand why you turned around.

It's not the dogs fault, they want to please you, but you need to train them first, and then they learn correctly, and as they get older, they learn to make good decisions on their own.

That's classic.  I think I would have just let him pick his nose if I wasn't ready to go yet.  There are much worse things that little one could have threatened: holding his breath, screaming, beating on the table... you get the idea.

I love the holding your breathe one...I always said, "go for it, bet you can't hold it for 3 minutes"...it is good practice and helps develope good swimming skills.

Hmmmm... is that how it works, just threaten to pick your nose and you don't have to do whatever it is that you're told to do?? I'll have to try that out! *hehehe* ~A:)

That was funny. You have a pretty neat talent in telling a good kid joke. Reminds me of Art Linkletters, Kid Say the Darnest Things....remember that show?

They are too smart. Even my 18 month old knows just what to do to get her way :-)

This one sounds so smart, he scares me. I would totally give in-Dinah Lee
